VocalEssential Suite compatibility

VocalEssential Suite v1.0.4 includes 18 vocal plugins for Windows and macOS. Every included product ships as a standalone application, so you can also process audio without opening a DAW.

The macOS builds are universal binaries for Apple Silicon and Intel. That includes Apple M1, M2, M3, and M4 systems running a supported macOS release, without requiring a separate chip-specific download.

VST3, AU, and standalone.

The current release does not include legacy VST2 or AAX builds. Logic Pro uses the AU build. FL Studio, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Cubase use the VST3 build. Pro Tools can host that VST3 build through a compatible third-party wrapper.
without a daw

Can VocalEssential run standalone?

Yes. All 18 products in the current Suite include standalone applications for Windows and macOS. You can launch a standalone app directly and use it without FL Studio, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, or another DAW.

On Mac, the installer places standalone apps in /Applications. On Windows, launch the installed standalone application directly. The standalone and plugin builds ship together and are included in the same legitimate customer entitlement.

Pro Tools: use a compatible third-party wrapper to host the VST3 build. The Suite does not include native AAX, and the wrapper must be obtained and configured separately.
installation

Where the formats install.

The macOS package installs VST3 plugins to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3, AU plugins to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, and standalone apps to /Applications. The Windows installer places VST3 plugins in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and installs the standalone applications.

If a plugin does not appear, confirm the host is scanning the system VST3 or AU folder, then rescan or restart the host. Logic Pro must have Audio Units enabled. Pro Tools does not scan the Suite as native AAX; configure a compatible wrapper to load the installed VST3 build.
